As we all well know there are no bankers in this league any more. We just need to keep picking up points.
I was going to say the same thing. And with Pulis clearly having been stung by the "40 points and already on the beach" jibe, expect his players to keep giving it a real go, too.
the Arse are looking more and more like a 1-man team every week. and his ankle is shot, apparently. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39317475 Alexis Sanchez: Arsenal forward's ankle in terrible state - Arsene Wenger

http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/39355514 More parity would help the game. A cap on the number of players teams can have would be a good start. I thought Chelsea has an absurd number of players on loan but Juve has 50. Ridiculous.
I've been banging on about squad size limits for years now, ever since the idea of salary caps were rejected by the European courts.
Fans in San Diego have been asked to vote to name the city's new Major League Soccer team… and Footy McFooty Face is winning.
Despite the fact that San Diego is a beautiful city with more than 1 million residents, it should not have any professional sports teams. People in San Diego don't care about anything but the perfect weather. San Diego has the best weather of anywhere in the world. It's disgusting how good the weather is. You should have that kind of weather and a professional sports team? I don't think so.
didn't know where to post this .... interesting analysis of corners and why they usually don't work: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...fence-of-the-corner-a-much-maligned-set-piece
The guy writing the analysis completely lost me when, in the first paragraph, he says the ball needs to be knocked 25 yards into the penalty area. 25 yards leaves you, on a narrow EPL field, 10 yards from the center of the goal. Not exactly a dangerous corner. THEN he amplifies his idiocy and says dangerously delivered corners need to beat the first man, who standing on the edge of the 6 yard box, that is 20 yards away. So that means a man standing 20 yards away, on the edge of the 6 yard box, is playing on a field that is 58 yards wide. He then compounds his errors talking about the WBA-Arsenal game. Dawson's first goal was from 2 yards inside the front post - not exactly dipped just over the first man. Arsenal, not exactly known for their aerial prowess, then hit the crossbar from a ball delivered to the back post. Only for WBA to then finish off the game via Craig Dawson from a ball delivered just to the back half of the goal from, you guessed it, a corner. Such basic flaws in his first several paragraphs render me unable to take anything else he says seriously. How does such crap get printed without any type of check on analysis/facts?
